The song “Ella” was supposed to have been on this album but was taken out at the last minute but not from the credits. The song that was put in the place of “Ella” was “El Camino Pal Circo.” The song “Ella” was later released on a compilation album titled Ella.

“Nobody wanted La Mafia,” Lichtenberger said. “We were turned down so many times.”

De la Rosa and Lichtenberger credit tejano legend Little Joe and others like Ramon Ayala and Cornelio Reyna for lending them a hand.

“I’m a true believer in giving credit to those that help you,” De la Rosa said. “Little Joe took us on tour to West Texas with him. We were ready to give the people something new and Little Joe supported us.”

Little Joe said he was happy to help La Mafia the same way artists like Isidro Lopez and Tony De la Rosa helped him when he was starting out in the 1960s.

“I saw a new, up-and-coming group with a lot of talent,” Little Joe said. “Everyone can use a little help, but it was their willingness to work hard that took them to the top. I was just one of the steps on their ladder.”
